There is no set amount of free time during this chapter. However, there are certain events that will appear if you didn’t do specific ones in previous chapters. These revolve around Ryid, Mutsuki, Quon and Carla, who will each give you a Megalixir if you talk to them.

Warning: You will not be able to summon any Eidolons in the next mission, as well as use the Vermillion Bird attack. Also, your characters will not regenerate HP, so make sure you bring a lot of HP-replenishing items with you. It’s also important that you have a few characters with magic equipped, which will be needed for a section in the last mission.
